  4. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

  7. Lynda – I moved from California to Alabama in 2008, and now raise chickens, geese and ducks for fun. Most days will find me gardening, quilting, reading a good book, or occasionally writing for fun. I am a Sabbath keeping Christian. I will not apologize for my freedom of religion, nor will I tell you're wrong if your own beliefs differ from mine. Our country was founded on that right. I'm not rich, nor privileged, or powerful. I am an underdog, one among many, who lately feels like barking. Sorry, but somebody needs to say it out loud, and I am open to your comments and thoughts.

  12. Karen M. – I'm a transplant from Northwest Oklahoma, married and love living in the Pacific Northwest. Sometimes I think I have too many hobbies: gaming, coffee, amateur photography, cooking and baking, sketching and drawing. Some of them get pushed to the side depending on what else is going on.

I love traveling and reading, baking and cooking, taking way too many pictures, and enjoying my family and friends. Life is an adventure, and I want to remember and express my joy for it! This is a journal for me ... so I'll never forget the good times and to remind me of them on more challenging days.

  15. ashadeofpen – India – I believe in dreams.. they are as real as reality can be.. I am not the most realistic one around.. I have my own castles where I live and my words are the love I give. Nothing is permanent in life, not you, not me, not us.. so, I believe in living and laughing as much as we can until the bad nights begin... I swear I can write better than this.. it's just I don't talk much about myself. however, if you should know.. I have a story inside of me That you will never know 'Coz there are things That even words fail to show. ~~The Boring mumbo jumbo about me~~ I’m a brooder, a thinker, and a doer. I love to think of things that are not and I love to do things that I can’t. I live in an alternate universe. My words are my world as they are a shade of my pen. I believe we are all figments of imagination as we march this arena of life. Things are not what they seem; people are not what we think. Yes, I often live in my dream. I am a misfit software engineer who left a job in the corporate world so that I could give wings to my dreams and fly on my words.

  16. simon7banks – Harwich, UK – I write poems and stories, often mystical or fantastical. I believe very strongly that poetry is an art of the spoken word, so the sound of the words is important: so please say my poems aloud, if only in your head. I live in the U.K., in Harwich, Essex, but have worked in Kenya and Finland, and travelled to many other places. This is my literary blog. I'm also a Liberal Democrat political activist, birder, long-distance trail walker, real ale drinker and Quaker.

    That’s incredible! As the picture emerged, I was convinced they were ice-creams!

  17. This is so beautiful! I am so glad I found your page. Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking my poem.

  18. Anna – I am a ceramic sculptor living on the South coast near London, England. My work is influenced by my experience of the earth as a living being and seeing how we are all connected with eachother and with the things that surround us. I create ceramic torsos using molochite clay which I often smokefire in galvanised dustbins. I also make House Gods to protect and amuse, and Fat Birds - little smokefired sculptures that tell the story about what it is like to be a fat bird at peace with its surroundings.
    Anna says:
